Land Use Planning Benefits Sample Clauses

Land Use Planning Benefits. In the vicinity of HST stations, the HST system will generally be compatible with local, regional, and state plans and policies that support rail systems, including the HST, and transit-oriented development (XXX). It will offer opportunities for increased infill development and redevelopment of downtown centers, which would reduce pressures for conversion of surrounding agricultural land to non-agricultural uses.

In particular, convenient links to other rail services (heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, and conventional intercity) will promote XXX at stations by increasing ridership and pedestrian activity at these “hub” stations. A high level of accessibility and activity at the stations can make the nearby area more attractive for additional economic activity (Section 3.13).
